Interesting image - somehow soft though - judging by your exif and 1/750th of a second - perhaps you could have stopped the lens down a bit more. Also looks a bit underexposed to me - it is not enough dark for silhouette nor enough bright for a well exposed shot. Still a good idea worth exploring. Best of luck with your entry !

That is just a 72dpi for Web use, it looks better at 300dpi. Now that you said something about it is a bit "light here. It was processed for printing on our huge Chromira Digital Color printer and is much darker printed. I almost always have may cameras set 1/2 stop underexposed. The "objects" in the image covered probably 12 feet in depth. I can't say what F-Stop I used as my K-3 does not record such metadata for M-Series lenses. But with a shutter speed of 1/750 s, I could have gone two stops down and used a smaller aperture, but that might have made little difference on a crop factor with a 100mm (as 150mm on a film camera); shallow depth of field. Had I shot with one of my several 50mm lenses there would have been more depth of field but that is not how I shot it. Thanks for the feedback anyway.
